0050 - Epilogue; sneak peek at next week's strip
🕑 Added 2024-02-09 18:00:06 +0000 UTCNext week we begin a run of Old School Classic standalone strips, set to run indefinitely. The story arcs are very pleasing to mull over and plot, but under the mop of my well-being I sense a hunger for the wham-bam of the spirited and irreverent basal ganglia of this excitable troupe.
I'm also doing another Author's AMA, open to all tiers, in the next few days.
Now, to address once again the subject of the mop of my well-being. Expert readers will observe that in the above strip, I have clearly decided to lock the Onstad character in to his early-2000's hair amount. I thought this would be a nice thing to do for myself. To reflect reality would be to copy and paste Pat's hair onto my illustrated pate; the world does not need the one sad instance of my hair, let alone an additional rendering.

"I- Sir, isn't cooking risotto the sort of thing that a loser might do to... to pretend he had some level of sophistication in his meaningless life?!" "Begging for their job is for people with perspective. My ideal loser has so little perspective that he thinks cold french fries ARE sophistication. You'll receive your last check upon confirmation you have deleted all my office contacts and returned this monitoring device."

The right half of the 4th panel of the 2nd line, Teodor looking back hesitantly, is a sticker waiting to be made.

Molly wants to work for Air Bnb. Fuck that shit.

Sidenote, this kinda reminds me of when Kurt Vonnegut wrote himself into "Breakfast of Champions," as a minor, but omnipotent character.

Onstad been dabbling with the micro-doses that Ray would have snuck out of Pat's cult-retreat when he finally realized that 1. there would be no witchy ladies throwing themselves at lil' ol' Ray and 2. a true business genius would not let themselves take nothing away from the retreat. ("Every transaction is a negotiation.")

The self-portrait panels are sort of Peter Max. I could be wrong, but if so, that’s a cool homage
Alex Ruppel
Yes

Why do you look all whacky??

As a landlord I have come to accept that there are two reasons for this, both fairly good (from the renter’s end): 1) You have the cash now, and you have enough self-insight to realize that if you do not pay me now, you will blow it and not pay me later 2) You have money and you really want me to disregard your credit and eviction history, which shines with the blinding, boiling unlight of Hell On the other hand, both of these reasons indicate bad things in the works for me. Person A is often flat broke by the end of the prepaid period, person B is often the sort of person who gets evicted for other reasons besides missing rent that are even worse. I have said in the past that if you sign a year lease and pay rent monthly you get a discount, if you want me to take cash up front it’s the opposite

He’s a ditherer, remember?
Christopher Malone
T has six months to figure it out. He'll be fine, right?
Omnithea
Hah. Easy path closed. Get back to improving yourself.
Mike Crotch - Harvey
Onstad's been at the Golden Tabloid again
Anthony Thompson
Baby, even the losers Cook risotto sometimes
GruntyGinMan
The real answer is T knows if he sits on it he won't have it in a month, much less 6

As much as I enjoy the relentless bullying of the strip's main characters, as the world's number 1 Ultra Peanut fan (it says such on my résumé), I will continue my campaign for new Ultra Peanut comics until my lobby's demands have been met!
Colin Sueyres
Baby, even the losers/ Get lucky sometimes/ Even the losers/ Keep a little bit of pride/ Then they cut a check for 6-months of rent because they're still losers
Josh Hernandez
Just like Elon to cut and run.
Rob Satterfield
I thought this was Achewood Submarine
Bungus Bronbo
I guess the real losers are those without any passion. I'm happy for Teodore.

I think about a previous sighting on most occasions of picking up a cat.

At least he's got his housing sorted for a bit. Better than blowing it on more designer threads he'll just ruin again.

Ours is not to wonder why; ours is pain and then we die.

Good
Chris Onstad
every 21 years I allow this vanity
Chris Onstad
The side effects are always like "ruined boners and uglyface" which directly cancel any benefits of a handsome mop
Nicholas Williams
Why the fuck would you pay six goddamn months of rent in advance Teodor you fucking poltroon.
DOOMFINGER
Ah! Another cameo from “Onstad”, my favorite minor character!
David Kettler
